Athletic improvements

Athletic improvements: Members of the Forrest City School Board on Tuesday agreed to spend up to $2.2 million to improve current athetic facilities and build new ones. One of the projects would be to replace the field at Sam Smith Stadium with an 80,000-square-foot sate-of-the-art synthetic turf field, as shown above. The other projects would include a new six-lane track to be built just west of the football stadium, a new softball stadium, replacing the turf in the indoor practice facility and installing a new scoreboard at the football field.
